I have a real head scratcher.. I went out to my 1045A2 with 4l80e trans and found one of the two batteries completely dead. The batteries werent that old so I swapped the bad one for a new unit and off I went. However, I just noticed that the Transmission light is VERY dimly lit only when the...

Anyone have direct experience with installing the Ibis Tek quick egress windshields? I am sure it is harder than it looks but I am told that it is basically just removing the old glass and brackets and popping in the Ibis Teks. I will work out the defrost issues later.

Just wondering is anyone has successfully re-dyed the seat covers on a HMMWV. I have 4 high backs that are in perfect shape..no rips or tears but they are sun bleached. I am considering pulling the covers off and using fabric dye to get them back closer to their original olive drab. Anyone...

I am looking to trash the 2 piece C-Pillar that GovPlanet installs on the 1043's when they get demilled with a proper Slant Back one-piece C-Pillar. I am curious as to how the installation is accomplished? The brackets are welded to the Sponsons so is there enough room to slide the C-Pillar...

Does anyone happen to know the overall height of the HMMWV with a deep ford exhaust system? I picked up a 1045 recently and just wondering if my garage door opening is tall enough to accommodate it. My non-deep ford 998 fit with plenty of room to spare but it looks like the pipe sits up quite...

Has anyone else noticed that GP is getting really sloppy with the pictures they are taking of auction trucks? I have seen atleast 4 different slant back HMMWV's that re-use the same motor and undercarriage pictures. This is giving me pause about bidding now because I cant tell what condition...

I know that the date on the data plate can change after a reset or other major overhaul but does anyone know if the Serial number itself ever changes? I ask because some of the newer trucks on GP look much older than their data plate would suggest and many have data plates that have clearly...

Hi Guys - I have had my truck for about a year and a half and i'm getting the itch to possibly try a different MV. I have scoured the web in an effort to understand what to price my current truck at but the prices vary widely. My truck is a bit of an odd bird because it is a 1992 HMMWV with...

Just purchased a new surge tank cap from Kascar and the new unit they sent me is rated at 16 lbs. The parts book calls for a 15lb. unit. Do you guys think this is a problem? I dont see 1 lb making a difference but what do you guys think?

So I am working to finalize the EZ TCU installation and hit a bump in the road. The TCU requires a digital DC signal...the type produced by a 3 wire hall effect crank position sensor. As far as I can tell, our 6.5L GEP motors have both a crank position sensor and an oil pump driven sensor but...

Hi Guys - I am working on installing the powerpack in my 998 and an needing to swap out the Yokes on the differentials. I read through the TM's but it does not seem to apply if you are moving from one yoke type to another as I am doing with the conversion from a 3L80 to 4L80E and NP242...

Hi Guys - Working to make the last few electrical connections on my 6.5L GEP installation. I have one wire which was cut during the engine harvest and does not have a marker to identify the wire number. Can someone please help me identify it and where it terminates? It looks to be about 8...

So I dug through the tech manuals and cant find any mention of this electrical component. It wasnt present on my 6.2L so hoping someone may know what the function of this thing is. It came as part of the 6.5L GEP power pack. Says riverside manufacturing but no part number. Maybe some sort of...

OK...making great progress on the swap from a 6.2L 3 spd to a 6.5L 4l80E. The new power pack is in and now the hard work of making all the required connections begins. I need to reconnect the high pressure line from the A2 style power steering pump (reservoir on top of engine) to the old...

Can someone please help educate me on what the function of this pipe is?? The pipe is located top right above the oil filter. Thanks!

Hey guys - Getting very close to being able to pull my trashed 6.2L / 3L80 and replace with the 6.5L Optimizer and 4L80. Everything came out very smoothly and I am down to only the hard plastic lines that plumb into the air cleaner element and drive-line. What is the best way to disconnect...

Really bad night tonight.... Almost one year to the day since I received my 1992 HMMWV and I believe that the motor has thrown a rod. I have two rather large holes in the oil plan and the starter was struck by the rod and consequently broke the transmission mounting points. I am considering...

Hi Guys - I have a 92 M998 which has been running erratically as of late. In a nutshell, on a cold start the truck fires right up..faster than my 2015 F350 in fact. Is does not smoke and it runs very well other than a small knock that comes and goes. However, after you have run the truck up...

Hi Guys - Had my starter fail on the HMMWV because the aluminum nose cone snapped off. I know that I could replace the nose cone but the starter was old and new starters are fairly cheap. I bought a brand new Leece-Neville starter. I was surprised to find that the new starter has a brass...

Guys - After hours of searching the web I cant seem to find a solid description of how to do a diesel purge on our HMMWV. I reviewed the K5 board 6.2L purge but it is a bit different than our setup it appears. I put together a simple block diagram that I wanted to share with you guys to see if...
